Athenaeum

You were right outside my window
Your skin still brown from yesterday
But i pretended not to notice
You just turn and walk away

All my life i've been a little weird
Friends of mine they've always disappeared
And i'm still running from the things i've feared
To fade away

Alone
On my own

You would always send good pictures
Your skin the perfect souvenir
But i pretended not to notice
You just turn and disappear

All my life i've been a little strange
Friends may come and go but i can't change
And you've got your so darlin' don't complain
Just fade away

Alone
On your own

I used to see you in the summertime
You always new just what to say

You're not alone

All my life i've been a little weird
Friends of mine they've always disappeared
And i'm still running from the things i've feared
To fade away

Don't fade away alone

Please wake me
I don't know if i'm still dreaming
Please wake me
I'm one side calm and one side screaming

Out into the hall
I never really thought that i was anything at all
Until i saw the person in the mirror on the wall
Staring back at me

Suddenly everything changes
Suddenly everything's fine
Suddenly the words jump off the pages
Suddenly i'm alright

Please wake me
I don't know if i'm still breathing
Please wake me
With one eye closed and one eye beaming

Out into the hall
I never really thought that i was anyone at all
'cause everyone around me always made me feel so small
But now that i can see

I've been waiting patiently
For you to come and rescue me from things
I know are sure to come
And i've been waiting here all day
But nothing seems to come my way
I know i'll never have it all

Please wake me
I don't know if i'm existing
Please wake me
Let me know if someone's listening

Suddenly i'm alright

Darling i'm sorry i never let anyone talk to you
And please don't be angry if you don't grow up like you wanted to

This is the damage that two can do

24 hours a day keep turning but i'm not sorry
24 hours of pain and hurting but i'm not sorry

But if you could see what you do
If you knew what you put me through
You'd see the damage that two can do
Whenever they're through

24 hours a day keep turning but i'm not worried
24 hours of pain and hurting but i'm not worried

This is the damage that two can do

24 hours a day keep turning but i'm not angry
24 hours of pain and hurting but i'm not angry

This is the damage that two can do

Baby don't give a damn about me
Why would she ever need to
Cause she's got everything without me
I'm just a rock in her shoe

But then she draws me near to whisper in her ear
I say the things that baby likes to hear

Baby won't put her arms around me
I think she's embarrassed to say
That she's been down ever since she found me
I'm just a lull in her day

But there's nothing she could do that would break my heart in two
Cause baby's got a way of keeping you
And there's nothing she could say
That would push my love away
If baby's gone then i don't wanna stay

Please don't make me live without her
I've lived a life where nothings real and nothing matters
Please you can make it easy on me

But then she draws me near to whisper in her ear
I say the things that baby likes to hear
And there's nothing she could say that would push my love away
If baby's gone then i don't wanna stay

He only left this world about a year ago
With nothing but a widow and the kids he'll never know
He could come back again
But only as a younger friend and that's the way it goes

She wrote the book on how to fall in love
When nothing in the world could make her fall in love
Now she's on her hands and knees
Riding her apologies to a god above

Wherever we are we're frozen in time
There's a pathway to heaven that we couldn't find
Are we doomed to repeat this circle of life
Frozen in time

He's got a plan to make himself complete
To earn enough money so his family can eat
But what makes a man a man
If he's doing the best he can on his own two feet

Wherever we are were frozen in time
There's a pathway to heaven that we couldn't find
Are we doomed to repeat this circle of life
Frozen in time

She's got a big degree in the field of life
But she never got used to being a second wife
Boy she really missed the dance
But she's gonna get a second chance in the afterlife

Wherever we are we're frozen in time
There's a pathway to heaven that we couldn't find
But i will not repeat this circle of life
Frozen in time
